Agree with all the above and no accountant can say other that even he / she is still study and not work yet as we all take that defination in our faculty , but i want to add more comment by we get form income statement (( The Gain or Loss of the company )) and its also called P & L , finally its the matter of not making Income Statement but its matter of knowing the know how of analysis the items in it and know when you look in it the extra value for any number or where is the Booming in any of its item.
